Dear Agriculture,

Thanks to support from organizations like AFT, we're growing this farm, growing this food, growing these people, providing employment and working to conserve agricultural land.”

We have some exciting news to share. In recognition of our vital work, the AFT Board of Directors has committed to give or help raise the funds to match every gift that you and other American Farmland Trust supporters make through the end of the year -- up to a total of $250,000!
This means that your gift today will be matched dollar for dollar—and will go twice as far to support our efforts to protect America’s farm and ranch land. Give today and double your impact.
Every minute of every day, we lose two acres of agricultural land to development. That adds up to more than 2,500 acres a day—over one million acres a year of productive farm and ranch land that provides fresh local food, wildlife habitat, rural landscapes and helps filter impurities from our air and water.
Give today and double your impact to protect farm and ranch land.
With your year-end matched gift, we’ll continue the fight to sustain and grow federal funding for the Farm and Ranch Land Protection Program while we work on the ground in key regions to integrate farmland protection with the needs of local food systems ... determine and promote the “best practices” that communities can employ to protect their local food-producing land ... and implement the new Farm and Food Bill with strong regulations and full funding for 2009… and we’ll add to the 2,000,000 acres of farmland we’ve already helped save.
Give now and help double our efforts to protect America’s best and most vital farm and ranch land in 2009.
Sincerely,
Jon Scholl
President
American Farmland Trust
